Nigerian music superstar Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, joined the electric celebrations with Crystal Palace following their historic FA Cup victory.

The event unfolded at Selhurst Park, just days after Palace shocked the football world by defeating Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

The victory, sealed by a stunning 8th-minute goal from Eberechi Eze, marked Crystal Palace’s first major trophy in their 120-year history.

Mr Eazi, a global ambassador for African music and culture, was all smiles as he posed with Palace stars, including striker Eddie Nketiah, who was sporting the club’s vibrant blue-and-orange kit.

Nketiah, who came on for Jean-Philippe Mateta in the 78th minute of the FA Cup final, played a key role in helping Palace see out their narrow lead against a relentless Manchester City side.

The “Leg Over” crooner, dressed in a sleek black tracksuit, also got his hands on the iconic FA Cup trophy, sharing a moment of triumph with the team and their passionate supporters during the post-match festivities at Selhurst Park.
